Tell some jokes, funny stories, and tales about good tricks. How does humor help you?
This one has gone viral. I’ve edited it a bit:
There’s a plane flying high over the desert. But it develops engine trouble, and it’s going down. Unfortunately, there are only four parachutes for five passengers. Dr. Faucci, says, “Many people depend on me to keep them alive.” He grabs a parachute and dives out of the plane. Pope Francis says, “Many people count on me for spiritual leadership.” He grabs a parachute and dives out of the plane. Donald Trump says, “I’m the smartest man in the world and the leader of the greatest nation there ever was.” He grabs a pack, slips his arms into the straps and dives out of the plane. Two people are left, a school kid and an older college professor. The professor says, “I’ve lived a good, long life, son. You can take the final parachute.” The kid replies, “No problem. We have two chutes, so we’re good! The smartest man in the world just strapped himself to my school backpack and jumped off the plane.”

This is a sexist joke. I will tell it anyway since we all need a laugh.
Normally I would not. Disapprove if you must.

I’m known as a stickler for good spelling. So when an associate e-mailed technical documents and asked me to “decifer” them, I had to set him straight. “Decipher is spelled with a ph, not an f,” I wrote. “In case you’ve forgotten, spellchecker comes free with your Microsoft program.” A minute later came his reply: “Must be dephective.”

I remember so few jokes, but a few quotes GK would have done on ;his show, like “Dogs come when they’re called. Cats take a message and get back to you.” Missy Dizick
Facebook has been wonderful lately, so I’ll keep inserting these, i.e.
“I can’t go out because of the virus.” sounds weak, whiny, and boring.
Say instead: “I’ve sworn an oath of solitude until the pestilence is purged from the lands!” …

OT YouTube channels. YouTube videos can be categorized in many ways. For example, some are musical performance, some are comedic and some are mini-documentaries. A popular and diverse group of videos can be called “restoration videos.” I’ll have more to say about them later. Within the large category of restoration, one wildly popular channel is Baumgartner Restoration, a series of films showing Julien Baumgartner restoring art, usually old paintings.
Julien has 1.24 million subscribers, people who are passionate about him and his unique job. Julien is an elegant and handsome fellow who talks with clarity and intelligence about his work. Better: you get to see what he is accomplishing as he talks, and many folks find that hypnotic. True fans can’t get enough of this. A recent video ran close to three hours, and many fans wanted it to be longer. For his fans, each appearance of a new Baumgartner video is like a gift from God, the best sort of day possible. They’ll make a ritual of watching it, knowing that they will probably come back over and over. Fans cannot get enough video of Julien cleaning and retouching old masterpieces whose beauty has been ravaged by time.
I’ve chosen just a simple short video to highlight here. It only hints at the appeals many fans find.
Many people, I suppose, will never see the appeal of this videos. Others watch them to restore their own souls, savaged by tension and conflict. Julien Baumgartner is supremely confident, orderly, meticulous and professional. He describes an exotic world where he is absolutely sure of what he wants to do. As he talks, we begin to see what professionalism can be, and ultimately he teaches us surprising lessons about how an intelligent person can engage in issues of value, art and ethics.

This relatively short video exemplifies the appeal of the cleaning process. The subject matter here is ideal for the “before/after” effect.
What comes through in Julien’s work is the extremely high level of skill involved and the equally demanding commitment to make the original painting absolutely foremost. Julien doesn’t enjoy criticizing other restorers, dead or alive, but there can be no mistaking his commitment to do whatever he can to restore and preserve the original work of art.
